# SKILL: Container Escape Techniques — Expert Attack Playbook

> **AI LOAD INSTRUCTION**: Expert container escape techniques. Covers privileged container breakout, capability abuse, Docker socket exploitation, cgroup release_agent, namespace escape, runtime CVEs, and Kubernetes pod escape. Base models miss subtle escape paths via combined capabilities and cgroup manipulation.

## 0. RELATED ROUTING

Before going deep, consider loading:

- [linux-privilege-escalation](../linux-privilege-escalation/SKILL.md) when you first need root inside the container before attempting escape
- [kubernetes-pentesting](../kubernetes-pentesting/SKILL.md) for K8s-specific attack paths beyond pod escape
- [linux-security-bypass](../linux-security-bypass/SKILL.md) when seccomp/AppArmor blocks your escape technique
